GENEROSITY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

The ChicagoMSDC invites our friends, colleagues, corporate members and certified minority business enterprises to accept our challenge. Help us raise $15,000 from Nov. 28 - Dec. 29, 2017 in tandem with #GivingTuesday and #ILGive.

#GIVINGTUESDAY

For our second year participating, the Chicago Minority Supplier Development Council (ChicagoMSDC) will be participating in #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to celebrating generosity by giving beginning Tuesday, November 28, 2017,
.

#GivingTuesday has inspired giving around the world. Last year more than 45,000 organizations in 71 countries came together to celebrate giving. This year we invite you to support ChicagoMSDC.

THE 15FOR51 CAMPAIGN

ChicagoMSDC is proud to be approaching 51 years of connecting major corporations with certified minority business enterprises (MBE’s). We are proud to be a cornerstone for contracts, training and education that transforms minority communities.

In 2016 ChicagoMSDC and the MBDA Business Centers created and retained more than 5,000 jobs, helped to secure approximately $362 million in contracts and assisted with securing more than $30 million in financing for MBE’s. We continued our mission to educate through workshops and publications and awarded scholarships to eight high school seniors.

The campaign goal is to raise $15,000 from Nov. 28 - Dec. 29th. Proceeds will support general operations while helping us award additional academic scholarships in 2018 and offer new business development training for MBEs.

With your help, we will expand programs and services for MBE’s and offer additional academic scholarships in 2017. This is how you can help:
